Here it is:
Cozy Creek Family Campground, Tunkhannock PA Cozy Creek Campground.


Wasn't too bad for the time of the year. I don't recall if they had cable but they did have full hookups.

Cover is on the 5th wheel and that does it for the season. Our camping buddies did it on the weekend. Have to thank them. Drove by the camp this afternoon and it's all packed up for the season.

Now I get to start my search for the places to go to and places to stay. By spring I will be stir crazy.

Home finally and the 5er is in the driveway but not pushed to its winters sleep pad yet. In the process of cleaning it out - it always amazes me how much 'stuff' we put in it over a season that needs to be brought in, sorted, washed, cleaned and shelved. Final winterizing in the next few days, and pending the weather, a quick wash and wax then back on its pad for the next few months. I did a quick add up of the number of days and miles of use and we are a bit behind at 76 days vs 82 & 84 the past couple years and way behind in miles at 2400+/- vs ~8000 and ~7500. My DW has a raging back problem so we may end up with a Class C, Ford V10 2V power most likely, but then, maybe not as I would have to part ways with my truck

Cold weather on the way. Good time to get stuff done before the weather turns bad, which looks like soon

I did all the winter prep for the underside today. Lots of fluid film, lubed all the slides and made sure all the wiring and gas lines are in shape.


No winterization yet, will watch the temps as we are headed out soon.

Since we usually camp until late October, I leave the furnace set at 50 degrees until I feel like winterizing. This year, I don't think the furnace has run much the last week or so.

Finished ours yesterday. A few repairs and all clean linens back in. Already cleaned, winterized and critterproofed. I need to wax the front cap and wash the roof but it's 25 here and that just isn't happening. I've decided a cover isn't worth the trouble since I take it for state inspection every year in the winter.

Took ours to one of our favorite campgrounds for the next week. I have to work today, but my wife is off until next week so she can keep it company. Even though we may have to winterize it a few times over the winter due to cold temps, we still camp year round. It's hard for you guys up north to do that.

Nope, that is exactly what we do. We may do that 2 or 3 times over the winter if we decide too.


Hardest thing is finding a campground around here that is still open, but there are a few.
